Percy Jackson is the 13 year old son of god of the sea, Poseidon. In this book Percy and Annabeth set on a journey to save their friend Grover and find the fleece that could save camp Half- blood. This book is filled with adventure and mystery, you never know what might happen next. I find it amusing how the author fitted Greek methodology into the book. Greek methodology is what interested me more in this book, getting to know all the powers of all the gods. They went to find a fleece that could reestablish the invisible barrier that protects all half- bloods from underground monsters. The barrier is a tree that Zeus planted when his daughter, Thalia died on her way to camp. The tree was poisoned in order to get in to camp and destroy it. Grover is best friends with Percy, Grover is a satyr, he has the upper body of a human and the legs and horns of a goat. No satyr has ever survived the mission that Grover encountered, now Percy and Annabeth have to go save him. Percy isin't only occupied with the mission but with the great prophecy that was predicted by the Oracle of Delphi that foretold the rise or fall of Olympus by a child of the big three, Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades.In some parts it described so well that you could feel that you were there but at the same time it confused you. I enjoyed this book because it is one of the few books I have read but above all that I enjoyed and loved, I certainly did not waste my time.
This is one of Ms. Gordon's favorite books. She read the first one of the series with the 6th graders last year. She really wanted me to read it. Now I can see why she liked it so much!
